Background

This Colloquium, the 16th in an ongoing annual series, brings together leading figures from academia, government, and industry to address the national need for security and assurance of our information and communications infrastructure.

The Colloquium solicits participation from practitioners, students, educators, and researchers. The topics areas should discuss course or lab development, Information Assurance (IA) curricula, standards, best practices, existing or emerging programs, trends, and future vision, as well as related issues. This includes the following general topics:

• Assessment of need (e.g. how many information security workers/ researchers/ faculty are needed?)
• Integrating information assurance topics in existing graduate or undergraduate curricula
• Experiences with course or laboratory development
• Alignment of curriculum with existing information assurance education standards
• Emerging programs or centers in information assurance
• Best practices
• Vision for the future
• Tools, demonstrations, case studies, course modules, shareware, and worked examples that participants (and others) can use to help educate people in computer security.

The Colloquium is accepting papers submissions, 6-8 pages in length. All accepted papers will be published in the annual proceedings, with unique ISBN. Authors will additionally present the accepted papers at the 16th Colloquium (author information). 

The Colloquium is accepting proposals for Short Topics. This year's conference will be selecting several 30-minute short topics that can be shared with the CISSE conference community. The goal of the short topic presentation is to share Information Assurance knowledge and techniques in an engaging way that fits somewhere in between the call for papers or working groups. Topics should be accessible and appeal to the diverse Information Assurance audience (sample submission).
